    Volcano roll
    Katie N.

    I've been to slurping turtle twice now and both times the food has been delicious. I like that they have gluten-free and vegetarian options. My most recent visit I got the vegetarian Ramen with sweet potato noodles as the gluten-free substitute. It was very delicious. Love the flavor just wish that there were a few more vegetables actually in the soup. Service both times were pretty iffy, though it wasn't busy. They did not see us until everyone in the party was there which seemed a little bit ridiculous. Also, I had to waive the waitress over to bring me more water, but otherwise it is yummy food that I would have again if I was in the area.

    We enjoyed 6 pieces of delicious nigiri as well as their tuna roll which was also amazing! They have great craft cocktails as well that are delicious!

    Tan Tan Men Ramen

    Not that you anticipate a traditional Japanese experience when the name is Slurping Turtle, but you would be right if you thought this was going to be what a loud, full of hipster shopping at the higher end mall would be. I sat at the bar dining alone as there was a 20-30 minute wait for the legion of high tops at 1pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Started with the Takoyaki octopus fritters (6 of them) that had a piece of octopus encased in a breading that is then fried. The sweet tonkatsu sauce worked well with the mayo although I'd cut the amount of mayo in half. It is side by side with the tonkatsu sauce rather than mixed so the mayonnaise can dominate a given bite depending on how you pick it up with your chopsticks. They came right out of the fryer so be sure to wait at least a minute for them to cool and so that you avoid the singe when you pop that first one in whole. The Tan Tan Men ramen had a promised kick although nothing that should deter those who are heat limited. Generous ramen and pieces of pork belly and meatballs. Rich broth that you'd expect. I realize the target clientele is running youthful but I think we'd all like to be able to have a chance to chat so I'd lower the music volume just a bit. Hipster vibes ok if the food is good which it is, but you don't need the volume to achieve either. And shout out to Cayla at the bar. She was quick, attentive without pressure or impatience, and obviously knows how to juggle.

    We came on a Friday night without reservations and had to wait 45mins. We registered our name and no. and waited for a text message while we wandered the area. I like the modern interior. Tables are mostly bar height with some regular tables on the sides. There's also outside seating and although the heaters were on, nobody was seated there on this cold November night. Food is decent and tasty. Ramen is nowhere near what a ramen tastes like. Soup is basically an Asian broth. I wouldn't say it's not delicious but can't call it ramen. Duck Fat Fried Chicken is crunchy and tasty. My miso soup came cold. When I complained, server apologized saying this is the last bowl and they're making a new pot. Although that's not a good excuse, she quickly replaced it. I will consider coming back when I'm craving for Asian food. It's a good thing to have where Asian food is scarce. For this reason, I gave them 4 stars.

    Went in on a cold day - we got there right around 6:15 and there was a wait but it was short. They quoted 20 min but we waited about 5 max. The table itself was interesting- high top but the bar stools were screwed to the floor/not moveable and not very comfy. Our waiter was prompt but busy. We got edamame to share (good but nothing overly special), and each got a bowl of ramen. I had the classic (no spice) and it was tasty! The egg was delish and the pork belly tender. The noodles themselves were pretty standard. Pricing was moderate. Definitely a good spot on a cold day!

    We sat in a little area behind the bar that I didn't know was there. Great service and a little more of a quit area. Food was great and the waiter was awesome (Jacob) he made it for us.

    DFFC Miso Ramen
    Stephen F.

    This was my second time visiting Slurping Turtle, and it absolutely did not disappoint! The atmosphere is great, and the service is consistently excellent. They have an amazing variety of options on the menu, making it hard to choose, but the food is always top-notch. I started with the gyoza dumplings for an appetizer, which were perfectly cooked and flavorful. For the main course, I highly recommend the duck fat fried chicken ramen--it is incredibly rich, savory, and exactly what you want in a bowl of ramen. I'm already looking forward to my third visit!

    Slurping Turtle - Easton, Columbus, OH Visited July 2025 4/5 for the DFFC Miso Ramen alone (continue reading:) The Broth: Steaming hot, layered with rich miso flavor and chili oil warmth. This is the kind of broth you crave when you're under the weather or just need comfort in a bowl. Noodles & Toppings: * Noodles had a nice al dente bounce (not house-made texture, but still solid). * Corn was soft--could use more crunch. * Kimchi? Excellent. Bright, tangy, and worth asking for extra. * Ramen egg was visually great but cooler than I'd prefer, likely prepped ahead. * Fried chicken was crispy and seasoned well, but gets soggy fast if you leave it sitting. Tip: Ask for it on the side. They also serve S&B ramen pepper at the table (tasty, but the fine print warns of BPA exposure--makes you wonder what we're sprinkling without thinking). Service: Friendly but not hovering. My server split my leftovers into separate broth/noodle containers without me asking--a detail that really matters if you plan to reheat. Space & Atmosphere: Very busy on a Tuesday night. Big garage doors open up to the sidewalk for fresh air and people-watching. If you're not into crowds or prefer a quieter meal, consider takeout. Parking: Paid parking in the Easton Preferred Park lot next door--enforced only on Level 1. Be ready with the ParkMobile app or look for free spots nearby. Overall: I've tried all their ramen broths, and the DFFC Miso is the only one I consistently come back for. Haven't branched into their sushi much (I prefer Mr. Sushi in Gahanna for that). Bottom Line: Broth worth the trip Get your chicken on the side Kimchi is underrated Paid parking is Level 1 only Would I return? For this bowl, yes. Would I dine in again? Maybe--but more likely I'd grab it to-go and savor in peace.

    Jade was a great server. Kept our drinks filled, got our food out quick and was very friendly. We came around 1800 on a Friday evening. Great service. Great food.

    Slurping Turtle has been on my list to visit for a while. Finally we had a chance to visit. Once we entered the place, it was half empty but the guy at the front told us that we have to wait about 1/2 hr, So we waited since I really wanted to try their Ramen. Once we were seated, our server came with the menu. She went over the menu and gave us some recommendation. Our server was really sweet and friendly. We ordered the Red Curry Ramen and the Roasted Chicken Bao. In general ramen noodle is on the salty side, but this ramen was extremely salty, but the boa was decent. I was really looking forward to the ramen but unfortunately the food fell short for me and waiting 1/2 hr to eat salty, mediocre good will not be a repeat.

So I was a little taken back you got a little bit of everything in this location is really small. And the parking is terrible but what can you expect for downtown? I had to take my ticket inside and if you purchased something from one of the vendors, they have to give you a QR code for the parking garage and it's two dollars for parking. We had Indian food and the food was delicious. The young lady behind the counter was so nice. She let us taste the chicken before purchasing our meals. The food in the North market is expensive. It was almost $40 for two people to eat. Then we had Jennie's ice cream afterwards and it was $15 for two scoops of ice cream. Customer service was great as all the vendors were awesome and explained everything to us. Is this something that I would do again know just because of the parking and most of the restaurants inside of Markette is not something that I would normally eat very clean. There is a second floor for you to sit. I don't know if they had an elevator. I didn't see one, but I know there are stairs to the second floor. Very busy long lines and you feel like you have to rush to order something because all lines were so long.

I rushed to get ready for their 3:00 happy hour. It's Friday. Paid $30 at a parking garage because it's ComFest weekend. Ugh. There were 2 people there. The bartender and a guy at the bar. The music was excruciatingly loud. I couldn't hear her and told her so. Then I heard they were doing things differently and something about hibachi. I then asked if they would accept my voucher. She took it to the bar guy, came back with it and said something I couldn't hear. I said so. She was informed they could not accept it. I declined to stay.

The sign said to seat yourself and we did. 15 minutes later there was no sign still of the wait staff. Finally we got the attention of someone who told us they were having staff problems and problems with the chef. That should have been our warning sign. Our order was for the pad thai, two sushi rolls, and poppers. The poppers were undercooked. The PadThai was made without the ingredients being mixed through and it was so salty that we couldn't finish it. the sushi rolls were kind of bland and the fried portions of the rolls were soggy. The raw fish in the sushi rolls was warm which made me wonder if I was going to spend the evening in urgent care. We were comped one of the appetizers but it couldn't make up for the missteps along the way. Piece of advice: if your staff is not organized and on board, don't open. The damage that can be done to your reputation isn't worth the one night of lost revenue. I wish it had been better but it made my last night in Columbus a bit disappointing.
